Asian stocks set to track U.S. gains as virus treatment hopes lift confidence

NEW YORK - Asian equity markets were poised to gain on Thursday, tracking Wall Street’s rally after positive trial results of an experimental COVID-19 treatment, a U.S. Federal Reserve pledge to shore up the economy and a jump in oil prices.

A top U.S. health official said Gilead Sciences Inc’s antiviral drug remdesivir is likely to become the standard of care for COVID-19 after early results from a clinical trial showed it helped certain patients recover more quickly.

I love how the 'market' is completely ignoring the economic damage that has already been done. Where is all this consumer confidence and spending power going to come from? Anyone that buys now for long term gain has rocks in their head.
